Dave and His Dog, Mulligan
by Jim KjelgaardDave Keller had a good job at Marcy's Filling Station, but his dream was to become a game warden--and be as fine and devoted a warden as his father was. However, the waiting list for warden jobs was very long and the qualifications to be met were exacting. Dave had a second big dream for the future. He wanted to prove that hunting the “varmints”--the coyotes, bobcats, and lions that ran rampant in the nearby countryside--could prove a challenging, diverting sport to the countless hunters who swarmed into the area each open season, mostly in quest of deer. He hoped this type of hunting would put a stop to the reckless placing of poisoned bait by ruthless sheepmen whose flocks were being raided by the varmints. Dave's invaluable sidekick and aid in his every campaign was his loyal companion, Mulligan--a giant of a dog, who, like the famed stew, had a mingled makeup, but who feared no bobcat! How Dave moved toward his first goal through the second--with the help of Mulligan and an idealistic sportsman whose life they saved--offers worthwhile reading.
